Arctas activity today centered on modernization, operational transformation, and the evolving role of AI in how federal work actually gets done.
AI and leadership thinking set the early tone. Chainbridge Solutions CEO Aarti Smith drew attention with a look at applied AI and the new division of labor in federal workflows, exploring how agencies can use AI to accelerate execution while keeping people accountable for critical decisions. Miranda Pannell also surfaced after stepping into the Chief Growth Officer role at CSCI.
CMS modernization drove another wave of engagement. Oran and Tyrula beat out seven competitors to secure the CMS Open-Source Consumer Platform Modernization contract, while AgileXtended added an OHC Organizational Transformation and Business Process Improvement support award. The SIE Group also gained traction after beating out two competitors to win HHS OCIO Vendor Management Support Services.
Competitive civilian agency wins continued. An Akytech and OST joint venture beat out five competitors to secure a Census DITD SharePoint Support task on CATTS. XLA picked up DOJ Criminal Division Office of Administration Support Services work. EY beat out four competitors to win a $62M GSA SAM.gov IAE Entity Validation Services contract, while Eigennet continued its momentum, topping four competitors for a GAO Infrastructure Operations Scanning Services award.
Defense and health work rounded out the day. Booz Allen Hamilton generated strong engagement after securing a $227M Air Force Life Cycle Management Center Tanker Support Systems Program Office task on Alliant 2. Laurel Health Advisors also gained visibility after being selected to support Minnesota’s Task Force on Hennepin Healthcare.
No flash required. Just modernization, competitive wins, and companies helping reshape how government work gets done.
